Hullo Dennis,
Do you ever see Chris Marshall nowdays ! The last time I saw him he was working for Chris Brearley and because there were two of them (Chris’s ) in the office had changed his name to Andy.
Cheers, Archie.

I just worked out when this would be. Neil was born in 1961 and died when he was 28 so that would make it about 1989. I didn’t know the surname only that this Denis was driving a Mercedes. I met a lot of drivers over the years,
I am quite surprised that I remember this blokes name unless it is from association, a bit like, where were you when Kennedy was assassinated?
Archie, that’s funny because Chris Brearley also had another name too. The original Mick Moody called him Greedy Little Pig

Hullo Malc,
Poor old Mick eh! He was right though, Chris was a Greedy little Pig, but he could always find work, you never sat around losing money, even if a good chunk of it was going to a Greedy little Pig.
